You’ve got the power! Summer is winding down and the Evolution is heating-up. Confrontation, strife and violence are becoming daily events. On the surface we see the fire, but beneath in the darkness and quiet, the seeds of a new world are beginning to germinate.
On the summer book front. May I share with you an excerpt from Dan Brown’s book, Origins ? It has The Biology of Belief listed from a ‘genius’ featured in the story line, Edmond Kirsch.
Ambra Vidal stood in the soft light of the attic apartment and ran her eyes across the rows of books lining the walls of Edmond’s library. His collection is larger than I remembered. Edmond had transformed a wide section of curved hallway into a stunning library by building shelves between the vertical supports of Gaudí’s vaults. His library was unexpectedly large and well stocked, especially considering Edmond had allegedly planned to be here for only two years. It looks like he moved in for good. Eyeing the crowded shelves, Ambra realized that locating Edmond’s favorite line of poetry would be far more time-consuming than anticipated. As she continued walking along the shelves, scanning the spines of the books, she saw nothing but scientific tomes on cosmology, consciousness, and artificial intelligence:
She reached the end of one section and stepped around an architectural rib into the next section of shelves. Here she found a wide array of scientific topics—thermodynamics, primordial chemistry, psychology.
